This paper reports on the creative use of regular simulation tools to develop simulation games with entertainment content aimed towards engaging young learners. Two games are presented: one focuses on the use of decision nodes while the second focuses on the use of batch/separator nodes. As part of future work, we propose to use these games to evaluate how much knowledge transfers from an entertainment context to one using simulations for real-life situations.

This paper describes an agent-based simulation extension of Grafen’s model of the handicap principle. The aim of our model is to investigate the possible evolutionary stable equilibria existing in this communication system. We performed analysis of the proposed model using simulation. The obtained results show that there exist equilibria in which cheating is an evolutionary stable strategy and identify conditions needed for such a situation.

The following paper will describe how path dependent hierarchical organizations are affected by a changing environment. The results of current research in this field (Petermann et al. 2012) analyzed path dependency of norms and institutions in different kinds of hierarchical organizations and the impact of leadership within this process. The results were produced for stable environments only. Agent based simulation was applied as research method. In order to examine how this process evolves when the organizational environment is changing, the existing model will be enhanced. The objective is to simulate the impact of external influences to the emergence of norms within an organization.

For more than half a century now, discrete-event process simulation has repeatedly proved itself a powerful analytical tool for improving many types of commercial and industrial processes. This analytical power is especially highly valued when the operational complexity and/or stochastic variability of the process exceeds the ability of closed-form equations to model it. Historically, simulation first proved its worth, and was most extensively used, in the analysis and improvement of manufacturing operations. More recently, the use of simulation has expanded vigorously and broadly to include warehousing operations, the delivery of health care (hospitals and clinics), transportation services, and the hospitality industry (amusement parks, hotels, restaurants, and cruise ships). In the successful simulation application described in this paper, simulation was used to model, analyze, and improve the staffing levels and operational procedures of a restaurant – unusually, a restaurant which provides only take-out services, with no «dine-in» capacity. The simulation analysis showed the most effective path to correction of insufficient capacity, distressingly long waiting times, and consequent lost sales and revenue.

Illicit drug use creates significant burden at societal, family and personal levels. Every year substantial resources are allocated for treatment and the consequences of illicit drug use in Australia and around the world. Heroin is one of the major forms of illicit drugs. Several independent heroin treatment strategies or interventions exist and state-of-the-art research demonstrates their efficacy and relative costeffectiveness. However, assessing total potential gains and burden from providing all treatment interventions or varying the mix of heroin treatments has never been attempted. This paper proposed an individual-level simulation model which addresses net social benefit over a lifetime that can accommodate the complexity of individuals going in and out of multiple treatments and their corresponding costs and benefits arising from different treatments during the life-course of heroin users in the context of New South Wales Australia. This model is intended to serve as an effective tool for economic evaluation and policy making in the illicit drug area in Australia. The validity of the model has been assessed by comparing short term outcomes or examining the status of participants at a various points of time predicted from the model with other data sets that were not used to parameterise the model.

One of the important problems in active moving objects control system (AMO CS) is the evaluation of goal abilities, i.e., potential of the system to perform its missions in different situations. Thus, the preliminary analysis of information and technological and goal abilities (GA and ITA) of AMO CS is very important in practice and can be used to obtain reasonable means of the АМО exploitation under different conditions. In the paper models and algorithms for abilities evaluation of AMO CS are proposed.

This paper provides a review of available tools to fit and model these processes. In addition to a brief theoretical discussion of the approaches, we provide tool evaluation from a practitioners perspective. The assessment of the tools is based on their ability to model input processes that are either fitted to a trace or defined explicitly by their characteristics, i.e., the marginal distribution and autocorrelation coefficients. In our experiments we found that tools relying on autoregressive models performed the best.

This paper considers some opportunities of the system for simulation modelling GPSS World Personal Version for simulating algorithms for transaction concurrency control (CC) in Distributed database management systems (DDBMS). Models of Timestamp ordering (TSO) algorithm and Two-version Two-phase locking (2V2PL) in DDBMS are presented. Both approaches – two version data and timestamps (and others) are used in database management systems for avoiding transaction deadlock. Method of TSO and method of 2V2PL are still not investigated enough. However, the use of timestamps makes the CC algorithms more complex due to the restarting of the transactions from service and the additional waiting for processing. Therefore results of the implementation the simulating algorithms are showed in comparative view.

A footwear business is one of highly competitive markets. Footwear businesses must continuously improve three main key performance measures namely quality, cost and lead time. The case study is one of footwear businesses in Thailand. As customer demands are fragmented, the company needs to offer different products to serve customers’ satisfaction. Customer orders are then small quantities, but contain serveral different product types. As a result, picking activities in its warehouse are becoming more difficult especially for sport shoes, fashion shoes and sandals. While individual order picking strategy was utilized, it caused long lead time in its picking process. Its delivery performance cannot be achieved. Discrete event simulation modeling using ARENA was conducted to investigate the performance of one order picking, batch picking and zone picking. It was found that the best alternative is zone picking with 4 orders per batch. The picking time can be shortened about 15%.

We propose a simulation based prediction framework to support real-time decision making. Specifically, we consider a generalized two-stage dynamic decision model accounting for both input uncertainty and system inherent stochastic uncertainty. Since the risk-adjusted cost objective involves nested risk measures, it could be computationally prohibitive to precisely estimate the system performance, especially for complex stochastic systems. Given a decision policy, in this paper, a metamodel-assisted approach is introduced to efficiently assess the system risk performance in the planning horizon, while delivering a credible interval quantifying the simulation estimation error.

Simulation is experimentation with a model. The behavior of the model imitates some salient aspect of the behavior of the system under study and the user experiments with the model to infer this behavior. This general framework has proven a powerful adjunct to learning, problem solving, and design. In this tutorial, we focus principally on discrete event simulation – its underlying concepts, structure, and application.

The quality of the project plan created is essential for realizing a construction project. This is a big challenge for planners, because there are many constraints to be considered. The problem to be solved is known as the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem. This paper presents a multi-agent approach in which resources and processes are represented as collaborative agents. Autonomous process and resource agents register themselves on a central blackboard where resource allocation to activities is negotiated. As expansion to prior works, a learning agent is integrated to improve the solutions created. A discrete-event simulation implements the model and it is evaluated with standardized project plans from the field of operations research.

Over the years evacuation simulation has become increasingly important in the research on the wide class of problems related to the public security in emergency situations. In this paper we develop simulation platform fully integrated with the cloud system with using the MapReduce programing model and Hadoop framework. The environment illustrating evacuation scenarios and actors is modelled by cell automata and interpreted as a potential field, in which technologies the generated agents are located with using multi-agent. The simulation is executed as a stream-based data-processing operation to enable environmental universality while taking advantage of the MapReduce model. Several test cases are provided to show the efficiency of the simulation platform.

The complexity of simulation models has increased during the last years in semiconductor foundries. Manual and automated decisions have to be modeled in detail to make the right conclusions from them. We describe an approach that uses forward simulation to minimize modeling effort and mimics fab behavior to a high degree. The approach is applied to the problem of controlling time link chains.

This paper uses agent based simulation to assess the effect of redesigning the points of access to a major public hospital complex in Chile, where nearly 15,000 people will pass through daily. The study is carried out by simulating pedestrian traffic in order to calculate density maps and service levels in hospital access and ramps. The simulation allows us to evaluate the flow of people and assess the layout performance, by identifying high patient flow areas and congested pedestrian traffic zones.

Recent research has shown that discrete event optimization framework, an integrated simulation-optimization approach based on mathematical programming, can be used to optimize buffer allocation of production lines, such as open and closed flow lines and pull controlled manufacturing systems. This paper proposes mathematical programming models for solving the joint workstation and buffer allocation problem in manufacturing flow lines constrained to a given target throughput.

In this paper, we consider a simplified semiconductor supply chain that consists of a single front-end facility and back-end facility. We present a production planning formulation that is based on clearing functions. The results of the computational experiments demonstrate that the profit can be increased while the maximum possible overall cycle time is not violated.
